Why Choose Education?
These degree programs prepare
students to enter a profession whose demand is at an all-time high.
Skilled and competent teachers are needed, especially as a growing
number of teachers prepare to retire in the next decade. Whether
students are just beginning a degree, currently working in the education
field, or hold a bachelor’s degree and are seeking certification in the
State of Maryland, they can pursue a Teacher Education track that meets
their specific career or transfer goals. Practical courses combined with
general education offerings and field-based experiences equip students
with both experience and credentials upon graduation. Associate degree
options and an alternative certification course of study provide
flexible pathways to enter this rewarding profession.
The Pathway to Teaching for Career Changers is designed for people who
hold a bachelor’s degree and seek certification in order to be licensed
to teach in a Maryland public school. People pursuing this pathway
should submit their official transcripts to MSDE for review and meet
with a CCBC Teacher Education Director or their campus coordinator
before registering for classes.
CCBC offers an A.A. degree pathway in Early Childhood, Elementary,
Secondary, and Special Education. The A.A. degree is provided for
students who changed their major from another program or degree option
where they earned 35 or more credits. It does not transfer seamlessly to
Maryland four-year institutions offering Teacher Education programs.
Students pursuing the A.A. degree option must meet with the CCBC Teacher
Education Director or their campus coordinator.
The A.A.S. degree career program in Early Childhood Development also is
an option for students in the education major. The A.A.S. degree career
program prepares students for a variety of career opportunities in the
child care field. A.A.S. degree holders may pursue careers as program
directors, senior staff teachers and assistants for quality child care
centers and preschools.
The Associate of Arts in Teaching (A.A.T.) degree is an option at CCBC
for transfer students in Early Childhood, Elementary,
Secondary-Chemistry, Secondary-Math, Secondary-Physics, and
Secondary-Spanish education. These degree options guarantee a seamless
transfer to Maryland four-year public, independent, and most private
institutions in the teacher education major. Students should note the
differences between the A.A. and the A.A.T. degrees, especially the
requirements of successful passage of the PRAXIS I Series Core Battery
Tests and the 2.75 GPA. All students who wish to pursue the A.A.T.
degree must see the CCBC Teacher Education Director or their campus
coordinator.
